We report the carrier-doping effects in layered manganese oxysulfides Sr2CuMnO3S and Sr4Cu2Mn3O7.5S2 with a two-dimensional SrMnOx perovskite-like layer. According to the Cu 2p core-level x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), Cu ions of Sr2CuMn1-xZnO3S and Sr4-xLaxCu2Mn3O7.5S2 are Cu1+ and Cu1+/Cu2+, respectively. On the other hand, the Mn 2p XPS spectra indicate that the Mn ions are Mn3+ in mother compounds (Sr4Cu2Mn3O7.5S2 and Sr2CuMnO3S), and that they are Mn3+/Mn4+ in Sr2CuMn1-xZnxO3S. Sr2CuMnO3S exhibits low- dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering at 120K, while an increase tendency of magnetic susceptibility in cooling is observed below 50 K. The antiferromagnetic order of Sr2CUMn1-xZnxO3S (x ≤ 0.2) is destroyed by an increase in non-magnetic Zn2+ ions, and the steepness of the increase tendency of magnetic susceptibility in cooling is also enhanced by increasing Zn2+ ions. It is supposed that ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic magnetic order co-exist in Sr2CuMn1-xZnxO3S. The La-doped samples Sr4-xLaxCu2Mn3O7.5S2 (x ≤ 0.2) show spin-glass-like behavior below 200 K. It is ascribed to the competition between the weak ferromagnetic double exchange interaction and the antiferromagnetic super-exchange interaction.
